You may begin this quest for Way of the Pot specialization when you have 530 Cooking. This quest is found at the Halfhill Market from Mei Mei Ironpaw.

The 5 Jade Lungfish that you give to the questgiver will be given back to you as a reward. You can then learn the recipe (from the questgiver) and cook them for the follow-up quest : The Soup of Contemplation

Cooking specializations can be learned starting at level 530 from Sungshin Ironpaw, in the Halfhill Market in the Valley of the Four Winds. What's not mentioned, is unlike alchemy, or the now defunct tailoring specializations, you can specialize in each form of cooking, and all at the same time. So, save up your raw materials while you're out leveling, because you can find a use for them in one of the specializations.

Each specialization increases one primary stat, except for the Way of the Brew, which provides mana replanishing drinks, and apparently headaches and grandeur. Each quest requires something specific to start; these items are returned to you at the end of the quest, and are needed for the first quest in each specialization to get an Ironpaw Token.

As a quick note to those of you having trouble learning all of the cooking sub-proffessions (ie, way of the wok, way of the steamer, etc. etc.)

If you get 1 ironpaw token from finishing any of these quests, you can cash it in at the vendor (Nam Ironpaw, located on the south side of the path in the center of halfhill, to the west of the in) for a sack of whichever good you need for the quest, and then the quest gives you an ironpaw token, leaving you right where you started before you completed the quest. Essentially, if you get one done you can finish them all with a single ironpaw token:

As an example, 1 ironpaw token buys you Juicycrunch Carrotx25 (contained within Sack of Juicycrunch Carrots from Nam Ironpaw), which you can trade in 5 of to finish this quest, getting you back your token + 15 carrots, and you have the quest done. Then you use the ironpaw token to buy the sack for the next quest, and so on and so forth. The only issue is you still have to get one of the sets of goods. I find the easiest to get to be the Wildfowl Breastx5 which you can get from the Monstrous Plainshawk that fly directly over halfhill. These can be turned in right in halfhill to Jian Ironpaw
